ViewSonic ultraportable swaps out optical drive with extended battery

0

ViewSonic’s 13.3-inch ViewBook Pro (VNB131) promises up to 8-hour battery life with the standard 6-cell battery but you can also swap out the built-in optical drive with an included 3-cell battery slice for an extra four hours of juice. That’s a nice touch for anyone who’s on the go a lot but still needs to be able to work with disc-based media from time to time.

The notebook’s specs include the following:

Ultra low voltage SU7300 Intel Core 2 Duo CPU

Windows 7 Home Premium

13.3-inch LED-backlit screen at 1280×800 resolution

320GB hard drive

2GB RAM

Removable DVD burner that can be replaced with an included 3-cell battery
